Course content

The course aims to provide better insight into and understanding of the practical aspects of archaeology, and how other museums, managerial and educational institutions are run. The student is required to participate in an approved work and/or procurement programme, where he or she will be given information on and training in relevant tasks at the host institution. The internship period will also serve as an important link in building networks between institutions and students, both nationally and internationally.

After a completed internship, the student should be able to describe the host institution’s main purpose, field of activity, as well as account for the institution’s place/function in the preservation sector.
